Chapter Seventy-Seven: Going to the Feast
hurriedly caught up with Li Mu and the others in front, Li Jin felt that her mother didn't seem to find that she was lagging behind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info peeked in, and saw that there was a faint sadness hidden under a calm expression on the well-maintained cheeks that he rarely saw.
Li Jin knew very well where this sorrow came from, and she also knew that her mother's worries could not be relieved by simple comfort, and all she could do at this moment was to stay by her mother's side silently and powerlessly.
The winter sun exudes a thin brightness, which makes Li Jin feel pale and dazzling.
On the way to walk silently, Li Jin tried to relax himself, hoping to make his brain spin faster.
Li Jin had already guessed that her mother must have visited the old princess of Huaiyang during her outings in the past few days, and the purpose was self-evident - hoping to help Li Jin stay in the capital and 'push' the marriage on the emperor's list.
This is almost impossible in any dynasty or generation, but it is not completely impossible.
Li Jin saw that when he couldn't sleep in the dead of night, he also thought about whether he must go away, even if Li Jin's name on the imperial list was impressive, how many people really knew or said to know Li Jin. Do you have to walk this single-plank bridge that makes your parents and your heart like a knife?
Perhaps, like the golden cicada shedding its shell, it is not impossible for someone to impersonate himself. At that time, he only needs to hide his name and be able to avoid this catastrophe.
It's just that the next moment such an idea appeared, it was strangled in Li Jin's mind.
The emperor's agreement with himself, where is it so easy to shirk. Changing people halfway, I am afraid that it is the person recommended by his own family to support the bottom of the family, and the emperor will also hate the Li family. In case of failure to discuss with the emperor, he will marry the northern frontier and work hard for the emperor this time, and he will change from a hero to atonement. Why take such a risk.
At this time, the method adopted by the mother seems to be more extreme and resolute - to join the forces of the Huaiyang King, who are in opposition to the emperor's faction. With such a force as the backing, even if the emperor wants Li Jin to marry, Li Jin can completely get out of the way, even if the emperor knows, he can only be helpless, just because the various factions in the court and China are entangled at this time, and all parties want to maintain balance before there is no decisive force.
For a little woman like herself, naturally there will be no big twists and turns. It's just that in this way, Li Jin is a complete defection to the emperor's faction, and it can be regarded as a great stain in their hearts. If you want to come to the Li family like this, how many times can you survive the court turmoil?
Although Li Jin knew that her mother couldn't bear to be married far away, she was even more afraid of the side plug of the war, and she would easily devour herself. It's just that such a strategy can only quench your thirst by drinking. Not to mention the distant power competition, only to talk about the price of his dependence on the power of the Huaiyang Palace. Looking at the attitude of the old princess and the attendants beside her, Li Jin had already guessed that one of the costs of her protection was to marry into the palace.
When my mother saw the delicate Jingyu County Lord, I was afraid that she also hesitated a lot about her desperate gamble. Even if everything goes as he wishes, will his life in the palace be as happy as he wishes? I am afraid that the same war will be raging, but I have become a soldier who has gone to the battlefield.
Li Jin didn't feel that this twist and turn was her mother's responsibility, but blamed herself deeply in her heart. If I could have talked to my mother earlier, and let her understand her thoughts earlier, maybe my mother would not have been so desperate, risking the lives of the whole family and the whole clan as a gamble, gambling on a chance to stay in the capital.
Fortunately, everything is still a turning point at this time, but it is only a critical moment, the moment that can reverse the situation at this time, Li Jin must not make the slightest mistake. Otherwise, not only will the Huaiyang Mansion be completely offended, but I am afraid that I will also end up treacherous with the emperor.
Secretly vowing to be strong in his heart, Li Jin raised his gaze again and looked directly at the banquet hall that was getting closer and closer. Today's first battle has just begun, and you can't back down.
At this time, the guests who arrived one after another had already gathered in the hall. The ringing bell in the shadow of the clothes and temples seems to be the crisp sound of the collision of Jin Ge on the battlefield.
"Oh, this is not Mrs. Li Shilang. Courteous. A woman standing at the door to ventilate, wrapped in silk clothes, came to Li's mother, only to see the dark silk occasionally flickering in the sunlight. The gold, silver, and coral, which have been very popular lately, were embellished in the dark gold satin, but the dress was too heavy with the same too pure color, which made people feel breathless, and there was no solemn atmosphere at all that the owner of these items wanted. What a waste of these good things.
After Mrs. Wei smiled and greeted Mrs. Li, it seemed that she saw Li Jin behind Mrs. Li and followed in. At the moment, he seemed to be very surprised, but after being immersed in this invisible battlefield for all these years, the surface kung fu can still be done quietly, but the emotions in his eyes are not practiced enough, and he looks at Li Jin with an incredible and inquiring look.
"Is this my niece? I haven't seen it for a few years, and it's such a sign of her whereabouts. The lady said enviously.
It's just that the originally polite smile on the corner of his mouth, after carefully looking at Li Jin's body, was filled with a monstrous sour aura that couldn't be concealed.
Although Li Jin doesn't participate in such banquets very much, he has not completely disappeared from this circle, which he can't do as a person born in a scholarly family. Therefore, even if it is rare, a song accompanied by the guqin under the moon is enough to make the people present at the time remember this woman who has always been unnoticed.
But even if that night was full of psychedelia, what remained in people's impression the most was just an indifferent image that seemed to have a fairy spirit, and the face was a vague feeling. At this time, Li Jin standing in the hall couldn't take his eyes off, his delicate facial features were just right, and the carefully selected jewelry and dresses made Li Jin's temperament be well strengthened and accentuated.
Maybe the beauty that is originally a five-point beauty can also become seven or eight points after being deliberately carved and properly set off. But not to mention Li Jin, who already has seven or eight points of beauty.
Li Jin just smiled and completed the ceremony, and Mother Li said lightly: "Where, Mrs. Zhang has won the award." ”
On the other side, Mrs. Zhang's daughter also seemed to notice the change in the door. Shi Shiran came to the front of the three of them. Before he could speak, he was impressed by the beauty exuded from Li Jin's body at this time, and then his expression of jealousy and unwillingness jumped on his face.
It can be seen that this is still a fledgling, so it is conceivable that the words blurted out under impulse are naturally not measured.
"Oh, Li Cainu is really different from what it used to be, not only is her status a noble person, but this momentum is also incomparable. ”
